Handlandy Men Women Gardening Gloves Breath Pigskin Leather Long 5067（5/7/9 Pairs）

These are very light. They're a little stiff, but hopefully once I break them in they'll be less stiff. They seem liked they'd be great for my rose bushes, or the annoying thistles I have to pull out of the ground. I like that they go all the way to my elbows as well.

It was time for me to get myself a good pair of gardening gloves. One of the main reasons why I chose these is because of their extra length. I'll have some rose bushes to deal with soon and other sorts of scraggly bushes that could scratch up my arms. These will give me that extra bit of protection. What I did fear was that they might be a bit too bulky for me to get a good handle on whatever I wanted to hold and pick through. I was quite happy when these arrived and realized that they are much easier for doing finer picking and pruning that I had expected. They allow me more dexterity than I expected, though, of course, not super fine. Enough protection to get down and dirty in my garden, yet will let me do more delicate garden work. When it comes to any kind of gloves, I never know what size to get. I tend to usually opt for a medium because that's the size that most often fits my hands. Not sure how to measure hand sizes but I wear a woman's size 7 shoe and my hands seem to correlate with my shoe size. Sometimes though a medium can be too small or even a little too roomy for my hands. Please note that I did not follow the guidelines for sizing on the product page. According to their chart, I probably should have ordered a small. Because mediums tend to work for me with gloves, I went with the medium. Glad that I did because they fit me just right for a garden glove.

The gloves look just like the pictures and they work just as they should. I live in the woods with lots of briars and poison ivy. These are great for keeping your hands and arms safe. I pulled 60 feet thorny vines out of trees with these and had no problem. Love em.

I love thee gloves and this is the second pari I've purchased. I mislaid my first pair and liked them enough to only consider replacing them with the exact same gloves. I found my old ones right after I ordered new (of course) but I don't mind. They're so good that I'm happy to have a spare lying around. Thick enough that I don't have to worry about rose thorns, pliable enough that I can get a nice grip on tiny weeds.

Truth be told, I actually purchased these for my baby cocker spaniel. While he is sweet and loving, when puppy madness strikes, he has teeth like a serpent! My hands and forearms are all chewed up from his canine baby teeth. Once he reaches better control for playing, I might actually use these for gardening! They are thick, comfortable, and very easily manipulated in the fingers. Just tremendous gloves!!

After reading all the reviews, I wasn't sure how well these would work. I have several bogies in my yard, mostly near my windows to protect against intruders. I also have a lot of other spiky/thorny plants in my yard such as pineapples with razor-sharp spikes along their whole leaves and a nice sharp tip on the end of each leaf, citrus trees with nice sharp spikes on them, and some kind of viney weed that has short sharp thorns all over the vines. I usually end up coming in from weeding looking like my arms were in a blender since my normal leather gloves only protect my hands. These long pruning gloves worked great, though! I was even able to use my forearms to keep bogie branches off myself while I was trimming other branches without getting punctured or scratched. They were reasonably cool, too. When I took them off, I looked at my hands and arms and the only scratch I had was one small scratch on my upper arm where the glove/gauntlet didn't cover. That's a first in my yard! Very glad I got these! I'm a female with small hands, and the medium was slightly big on me, but still very easy to work with and well worth it for the protection it gave.
